CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Feb 22.-The sophomore
class. of Wabash College, have been advertised
for several weeks as intending to give an exhibit
ton at Music Hall. this afternoon. There had
been reports in circulation that certain Of the
students intended TO attend and prevent the ex-
ercises being carried out, and force Of police
was on hand to put down any disturbance. At
about o'clock the Freshmen marched through
the streets, dressed in linen busters and SLOUGH
hats and headed by drum. They entered the
hall and took possession of the front seats. An
admittance fee was charged at the door. and the
hall was almost filled with people. When the
curtain arose, these students commenced to howl
shoot paper and shot upon the stage, and kept up
such din that nothing was heard that
was said by the sophomores. The police partly
succeeded in subduipg the disturbance When
the curtain rose on the second act the
stage carpenters were clearing off the stage,
and it finally dawned upon the audience that
the show was over-the sophomores had all dis
appeared through the back door, Thus the en-
tire affair ended in rather an abrupt manner.

Plainheld, N. J., the seventh day is observed by great many of its be- iever5.
 It so happens that the numbers and responsibility of the mem CTS of t @ Seventh Day Baptists living in that place, will admit of such an obser- vance.
 There are so many of them that they can close stores a d drop business on Saturday.
 Probaby there is no town in the world that presents a similar sight. Several thousand people, out of a population of eleven thousand, conduct themselves on Saturday as the rest of peOple ale supposei to conduc. themselves on Sunday.
 The Seventh Day Baptists have always teen devout. Their pety and pur ty have been charaeie. islic fea ures. AS matter of tact, these PlaintielI sewn n day adherents obs, rvc Satur lay much more rigorous y than the average comnunicant Ill other churches observes Sunday.
 The older members, especially, cling 10 the old-fashioned, piouS observance. They devote grea p Tt of the day to reading he Bible and religious books of LII 3 Ctu SCIlOOls
 Many of them are very fond of the doctrines, and keep p, rpetually posted on all the peculiar principle, of tue var iOus sects. They are close students of the Bible and have the Sc ipture in real mess or quotation at all times
 The entire day is spent n devotion and in churchgoins. The.r churcl is d large one, aud the pastor is an earnest dissemination ol tac truth as he holds it.
 To the stranger who looks on at this Saturday idea, It is all very novel and unique. He sees store af,er store closed, and Tn several sections of lhe ioSn tho regulation Sabbath stii ness reigns.

BABIES AND TELEGRAWs.
Embarrassments of Hap7y Fathers at the
 Telegraph Oflce.


 A Western Union telegraph receiver said to Chicago reporter:
 " Did you know that few people out side of doctors and the telesraph re- ceivers realize how many babes are born in the world? Why, there isn't day, Sunday included, that don't handle from fifteen to twenty ba y diagrams as VIC call 'em.
 By these I mean telegraphic an- nouncements O. the edvent of little strangers.
 There's a good deal of hum nature in these messages. Of course they are u ually sent to the little ones grand parents, and they take on all shades of exuLerance from the wildly exalted ecs acy of first-born to the cold, for mai, and not infrequently disgusled an- :.ouncement of the sixth.
 '' will say, however, that after the eecon or third event of the kind ths lightning is not drawn on 50 recklessly The slower process of the mails is considered quite enough for the emer- gency.
 " The coming of the first however, ts as sure to bring out an excited .le- gram as the sun sh nes. IL is great fun to watch the senders of these first baby dispatches as they prepare them.
 "A young father comes in with hur- ried step, and an exultant, beaming lace. He grabs blank and dashes of something like this:
 ''' Great news Mary very i'll. Fine boyr
 Then he tears that up. Somehow he doesn't want the rude telegrapher to know the name of the gentle but happy sufferer, and he tres it again:
 "' Expected event realized; a little girl; wife doing we'll
 ''' But, pshaw ? h. says, that's rath- CT cold way 10 speak of her t. her to her own father and mother. Wifi, why. of course she's wife; but do not like that, and he tears it up.
 Then he starts again, aud this time he says: CJnfound the tele- -rapher, he ehan't know anything about it. and he writes !: 1t has c0ne-eight pOun !S- female. Mother all right.
 He looks at it minute, and then tears it up, with the remark: They won't know whetberthat means Je-sey calf or 0 Hambletonian colt.
 By this time the young man has got into sweat, aud grabbing a pencil he dashes of: It's girl. Mother do- Ing nicely; and after looking at that five or six minutes, and maybe with a moistened eye, he signs his first name to it and hands it in.
 " They are all about alike, these first young fathers. They're proud, and happy. and conscious, and yet they will do almost anything 10 conceal their identity.
 Sometimes the young man comes in show ng signs that the reat domestic event has been too much for him, and then l have 10 take the pencil and help him out. and I do it in a practical wsy.
 e I get the addr ss and I simply write: Mother well,' anl then the man pays h.s half dollar and nearly pulls me through the window in his fierce de ire to have me go and give the baby a bath.

aid of the business men of Montreal. "The
people of st. John are determined" said
one of these ENJOYS, ''to avail of their nat
ural advantages for commerce, and deter
mined that they shall not be licked by
American cities" The ENJOYS admitted that
owing to the circuitous route of the Inter-
colonial Railway, it had been necessary for
the merchants of Western Canada to do
their business through Portland and Boston
rather than ST. John. But now, they argued,
the completion of the Short Line enables
you to use St.'John as winter port, and ST.
John will give you las good, If not better
terms than Boston or Portland. 1.-THE fact
that Boston and Portland are some nearer
than st. John" was admitted by one of the
st. John agents, but compensatory coDsid-
erations were adduced. The ''St. John Fora
warding and Trade Promoting Company
which was formed several weeks ago, has for
its object to afford to the merchants of West
ern Canada market in the West Indies and
South America through the port of St John.
The people of st. John have not stopped
here. They have applied to the Dominion
government for the appointment of an agent
who shall go to South American countries,
especially to the Argentine Republic, and
make it his labor to facilitate Canadian trade
(through the port of St. John of course) in
those regions. The Dominion government
has passed an order in council for the APP
pointment of this agent, and he will COM
mence work in q few weeks St. John has
also applied for line of subsidized steamers
between ST. John and South America, and
the delegates expressed themselves as con-
WINGED that they would get them if the re-
port of the special agent should warrant
such step. The fact that Portland is
more available port than st. John for English
steamers was not denied, but the agents OF
st. John represented that their city would
be able to compensate for this by line of
subsidized fast freight steamers for St. John
to England. This subsidy. as is already
known, has been applied for, and the people
of St. John are confident that they will get
It, Very likely their confidence is not mis-
placed, since the Dominion government is
more than anxious to placate the Maritime
Provinces
1t is in accordance with the laws of practi-
cal economy that commerce flows In the
channels that arelthe easiest and most direct
Upon this law Portland has relied and is re-
lying for the advantages of being winter
port for Canada. fBut there is no doubt
that subsidies have disturbing influence on
the currents Of commerce. There is no
doubt that by liberal use of subsidies the
Dominion government could make it more
profitable for Montreal merchant to have
his goods hauled through the snow drifts OF
Northern Maine to st. John and piloted
through the whirlpools and fogs of the Bay
of Fundy, than to have them brought along
the short and easy route to Porland's magni-
ficent harbor, whence is a safe and straight
exit to Europe. The question is, VIII the
Dominion give these subsidies? 1t has been
known to do Just such things.

SC. John has by no means given up the
idea of getting the English steamers to come
to its wharves instead of to our own. The
approaching competition of The Short Line
railway across Northern Maine has intensi-
fed the desire of the New Brunswicker that
the seaport of his Province, rather than the
seaports of Maine and Massachusetts,, shall
enjoy the benefits of the traffic between
Western Canada and Europe; and he is not
sparing his efforts to bring this about. Last
week delegation of prominent citizens OF
St John, including the Speaker of the New
Brunswick Legisture, Member Of Parla-
ment and a representation of the St John
Board of Trade, went before the Council of

that handle Lehgh coal. The practical eff

the coal operators plausible excuse for i'd

suffer from the boycott as we'll as the people
